This scheme is an alternate accommodation provided system.  [br][br]According to the IRCTC website, passengers of all train types and classes are eligible for this scheme. It is applicable to all waiting list passengers irrespective of booking quota and concession. Here is all you need to know-[br][br]Under Vikalp scheme, passengers who booked in waiting and remain fully waitlisted after charting will only be considered for allotment in the alternate train. The passengers who opted for Vikalp should check their PNR status after charting[br][br]The passengers who opted for Vikalp and have been provided accommodation in the alternate train will not figure in the waitlisted charts of their original train. A separate list of passengers transferred in alternate train will be pasted along with the confirmed and waitlist charts.[br][br]Passengers once provided alternate accommodation in alternate train will be treated as normal passengers in alternate train and will be eligible for up gradation.[br][br]If Vikalp opted passenger wishes to cancel, after he or she has been given an alternate accommodation, will be treated as a confirmed passenger and the cancellation rules will apply accordingly.[br][br]According to the IRCTC website, no refund for the difference of fare between the original train and the alternate train, including tatkal charges, will be given to re-allocated passengers.[br][br]Apart from this, if a Vikalp opted passenger has been allotted alternate accommodation, journey modification will not be permitted. In such a case, the passenger will have to cancel the ticket and book a fresh ticket for the modified journey.[br][br]Train list once selected under Vikalp scheme can be updated only once. Once this scheme is successfully opted, cannot be changed.[br][br]However, it is important to note that opting for Vikalp scheme doesn't mean that confirmed berth will be provided to passengers in alternate train. It is subject to availability in train and berth.[br][br]Passengers can be transferred to any alternate train opted and departing between 30 minutes to 72 hours from the scheduled departure of the original train, in which they have been booked.
